A test is conducted in 22 cities to see if giving away free transit system maps will increase the number of bus riders. In a regression analysis, the dependent variable Y is the increase in bus riders (in thousands of persons) from the start of the test until its conclusion. The independent variables are X1 = the number (in thousands) of free maps distributed and a binary variable X2 = 1 if the city has free downtown parking, 0 otherwise.
